My english is not good but I benefit from your channel a lot

[@KingTMK]

I usually don't comment, but I just wanted to say that this is such a great and eye-opening video when it comes to tackling very common problems with responsiveness. I appreciate it tons, so thanks for this!

[@KevinPowell]

Thanks so much! I appreciate that you took the time 😊

[@vitfirringur]

I stumble into some of your shorts and while I've been doing frontend dev for years, and feel like I can solve most CSS problems or implement most layouts, watching your videos is a humbling experience. I might as well not know CSS. Thanks a lot for the great content.

[@blackpurple9163]

Never thought of making those flex-wrap divs for tags/navs like that, this is actually what I wanted to figure out, thanks a lot

[@octothorpe12]

Another big shoutout for Every Layout. I *constantly* go back to that to try and get my developers to learn to love the cascade.

[@obsessedprogrammer700]

I recently worked on a large project and I happened to blend most of these layout tools together(also media queries), and the result was astonishing. Thanks, Kevin!

[@seanszarkowicz2910]

These types of videos are amazing - great job. Love the detailed explanations with the possible pitfalls and solutions to those pitfalls !! Keep up the great work

[@mrez5651]

I have been a member for a month now and your videos helped me solve problems that i have been strugling with, for that i thank you You are a great mentor, always on the point!💯 ❤

[@Tranqvilier]

I took Kevin’s course and it was great. It gave me a structured overview of responsive design. Can’t recommend it enough ❤

[@iburu]

The last part with the side bar was exactly what what I've been struggling with for the last couple of days and now I've found the solution. Thank you Kevin.

[@MrKOHKyPEHT]

It is really cool that in such short video all most common cases considered. Extremely helpful and useful. Thanks

[@VasilyPavlik]

After EVERY your video I have irresistible desire to rewrite at least a quarter of my current project. And a half of previous ones.

[@angshumanburagohain1151]

Kevin doesn't disappoint when it comes to HTML & CSS. He teaches exactly what we need. I have learned a lot watching his videos and I am still learning and implementing it in real time projects. Thank you Kevin for making these videos it's really really helpful 🙏

[@ichiroutakashima4503]

This video is genius. I really love it. I can't wait to refactor my codes with this. Love the touch ups.

[@rajkiranchaudhary8769]

I often get issue when using flex-wrap. This video really helped me.. amazing as usual

[@potrosanjuan]

I'm speechless, I just can not imagine CSS without your videos, thank you so much for such a great videos!!!!!!!!!!

[@ericvandruten]

Awesome, Kevin! thanks. Coincidentally i was just thinking about implementing one of these layouts, so perfect timing as well!

[@hellboyfbyao3]

Layouts have been a battle for me so thank you for this great video 😊

Fascinating video on youTube I have barely seen, and this video is the one. Your every css lessons made me think regarding css even in my busy schedules. Thank you to bring this kind of things to us.

[@henrythomas7112]

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

[@cscs6587]

This repeat(auto-fit, minmax(min(200px, 100%), 1fr) is life changing. I was facing this problem in my current project and you helped me fix it. THANK YOU SIR

[@composernotes]

Thanks Kevin, this is such a clear summary of the best of flex and grid, I will be showing this to my web class next week!

[@KevinPowell]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it enough to share with your class! Hope they enjoy it too 😊

[@iservisat]

I can't thank you enough for all the content, tips etc you share. Keep it going master!!!

I’m finishing up a React course right now and as soon as I’m done, I’m diving into CSS Demystified. Can’t freaking wait.

[@Kozi03]

Where have you been all my life. Thank you!

[@Atractiondj]

Last layout trick with the sidebar very must have for me, I eliminated 2 media queries and 50 strokes of code

[@vpgiang0205]

this is one of the most awesome thing i ever can learn, thank you for sharing 💯

[@Dalton_w]

Really great tips! Didnt know about some of them techniques, thanks for the video!

[@body220]

bro this guy is having tutorials for everything, thank you!

[@georgeelliottphotography3602]

Wow, I love it and saves so much time on creating media queries. Also, I like the new format Kevin. i.e. rather than type in every command, you just jump forward. Much better. George

[@tenc6491]

Superb as always🔥

[@caiomarcellusmartinezcabra3061]

The flexbox hackery is just brilliant!

[@fave1201]

The min hack on auto grid is awesome. I usually use media queries there and have a different template columns for smaller devices but now I can just write less code. 😁

[@ldburn]

I was pondering tables the other day and thought I'd come and have a gander here, you should definitely do a responsive table video. They can be a pain but there are times where tables are needed for information and the CSS behind them would be pretty interesting.

[@KevinPowell]

It's in the works :D

[@ldburn]

@@KevinPowell wicked 🙂 I do enjoy your videos, firmly believe there is always something new to learn or improve on and you always have something different to show 🙃

[@AlvinIsChipmunk]

Amazing work Kevin 😃 This is like a cheatsheet for me

[@ridiculousgames365]

Hey Kevin, I love your videos and this one is super useful for what I'm doing at work right now. May I suggest reducing the size of your talking head bubble? It often blocks the content.

Ones I make all the downloads I will create a short video and tag u

[@user-jx9iw7uz1u]

your video is goldddd

[@fabianjochenkanzler]

it’s so cool to look at one of your videos realizing that i know everything you are explaining. i came up with the same solutions during coding, had the same hacks. that’s really uplifting. maybe i’m better skilled and have greater knowledge and understanding than i thought. thank you for that. and thank you for that video, putting that all in one place.

[@codehal]

Great video sir ...

[@nikhilpsathyanathan]

Simple and useful video

[@StanleyBateswar]

Really nice!

[@D7460N]

Thanks, Kevin for another great video! Question in regard to the reel demo. What if each horizontally scrolled section do not share the same height? One section has a lot of content causing the other sections to be comparatively empty. Thanks again for your good work.

[@jwbonnett]

For the sidebar I use min and max width with a width of 100% to get the same effect without the need to treat them differently.

[@luismoriguerra669]

Thanks a lot! master

[@Gahlfe123]

literally what im working on right now

[@keldiggs232]

Good lord...This dude is CSS Master!

[@bilatungdulang9708]

Flex is really simple, but it will usefull when build a simple design or for quick positioning block. Then, grid is a bit hard to deal with it at first, but it really more usefull to build a spesific or complex design.

[@minhrdi]

I'm having to maintain codes in which the previous dev used margin: -x to arrange things... I told my teammate that's not how CSS works and you should just go take up Kevin's course... Thank you!

[@kodosensei]

Awesome !!!!! 🚀🚀🙌

[@lessons3141]

useful content

[@normanejm]

I Love the 5:15... Was Amazing...

[@olatunjiabayomi5945]

hi. Kudos!. In the main-sidebar example, can you explain why the sidebar got so squashed up by the main in flex mode? I was expecting them to shrink at the same rate since there shrink is both 1 and their size is auto. Why is the side bar width so shrunk to min-content?

[@nomadshiba]

i have also been using: minmax(min(100%, 25rem), 1fr), a lot but i recently switched to just using minmax(0, 25rem), i mean its not the same but does the job, and a lot more clean

[@nomadshiba]

i mean if you are listing items it wont work but it works while doing layout

[@RaveKev]

Wow, i want to print that video and hang it on my office wall!

[@KevinPowell]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!

Вітання панові Кевіну з України, Ваші відео допомогають мені та полегшують навчання. Greetings to Mr. Kevin from Ukraine, your videos help me and make my studies easier.

[@Irinyadler]

Hi, thank you for a great video. Could you please make a video about tips on how to create an eco-friendly sustainable website? Now they are becoming highly requested among the clients. Thanks.

[@KevinPowell]

Well, the main thing would probably be keeping them simple and light-weight, I'm guessing... The more heavy lifting to fancy effects that the browser has to do, the more resources it will use. I'd be really curious on checking the power consumption of websites, not something I've ever looked into and I'm not even sure how to accurately test that. I think, in general, the difference would be pretty small, and it might be more of a marketing thing, but I'll see if I can't dig anything up to.

[@TadRichard]

Is there a way to force flexbox to evenly distribute (by number) the child elements across rows? For example, if I have 8 elements and they can all fit in one row, display them as such. But if I reduce the width such that a second row is created, I'll end up with two rows of four instead of one row of seven followed by a row of one. Setting the grow value only seems to work across elements in the same row, not across all child elements in the flexbox.

[@user-zr6yt7ub7h]

cool video)

[@IvoPoetzsch]

Hi Kevin, thx for this Tutorial. I have a Question: How I can solve this with multiple Rows ? (I need a static Count of Columns but flexible Rows in a scroll Container). On Desktop it works but on mobile the Columns gives right a large Offscreen Space... :( many Thx)

[@BGdev305]

I'm confused, wouldn't using VW or REM instead of px for the widths be a better solution?

[@NicoHeinrich]

4:30 This is magic. Why does the mouse wheel work horizontally?! I normally use JS for this ...

[@deatho0ne587]

Man what we used to have to do for these, prior to grid & flex.

[@KevinPowell]

Blood, sweat, and floats 😅 - it wasn't an especially fun time for layouts, but it was better than tables!

[@intsfanatic]

Wow, didn´t even know flex-grow can have a value of bigger than 1.

[@danish7335]

Guys i learned responsive design with their conquering responsive layout.. If u have any problem to building responsive website so i believe (CRA) course is mandatory for you

[@CharcoalBadger]

Hey Kevin, your videos have been really helpful. I am new to web development and I have a question about these layouts. I understand that these are good for pages. Could I use grid to create the entire website layout and then put my components in? ( I am using react).

[@KevinPowell]

For sure, and you could use some of these within components too :D

[@CharcoalBadger]

@@KevinPowell Would I essentially add the grid layout in its own react component and then add each other component into it?. Thank you for the reply, your work and the way you teach is amazing.

[@leodragonheart754]

I have a question, is there a standard on how to set text sizes? Right now I am looking at each section at each breakpoint and use media queries to adjust the text sizes but there has to be a better non time consuming way of doing it

[@pablofigueroa9455]

Genial..!!!
